Shown below is a venn diagram representing the number of people in music class who play different instruments. Find the probability that a guitarist selected at random is also a pianist. |
$\frac{1}{5}$ $\frac{9}{5}$ $\frac{3}{5}$ $\frac{4}{5}$ |
$\frac{3}{5}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{3}{5}$ ## Given, $n(\text{pianist} \cap \text{guitarist}) = 33$, $n(\text{guitarist}) = 55$ Finds the probability that a guitarist selected at random is also a pianist as: $P(\text{pianist} | \text{guitarist}) = \frac{P(\text{pianist} \cap \text{guitarist})}{P(\text{guitarist})}$ $= \frac{33}{55} = \frac{3}{5}$ |
